SmartAVI 4K-Ready 8x8 HDMI Matrix with CAT5/6/7 HDBaseT

The HDR-8×8-XT is an 8×8 matrix switch enhanced with HDBaseT technology. Users can send eight ultra-HD video sources to eight local displays over HDMI, as well as eight remote displays over CAT5e/6/7 cables up to 328 ft away when paired with receiver units (supports HDX-POE and HDX-POE-PRO*, each sold separately).

Doubling as a transmitter extension unit, the HDR-8×8-XT sends 4K (3840×2160) resolution video further that standard matrix units and effectively cuts costs by utilizing inexpensive CAT5e/6/7 cabling. It also routes internet to remote smart TVs over HDBaseT and power to connected receivers through POE (Power-over-Ethernet).

Users can easily control the HDR-8×8-XT using:

• Front Panel Buttons which offer intuitive signal switching capabilities directly from the unit itself.
• RS-232 commands from devices that are connected to the unit.
• IR Remote Control for signal switching and receiver control.
• TCP/IP Web Console, which offers powerful visual tools for users remotely interacting with the unit from a PC.

The HDR-8×8-XT excels at routing 4K signals in large venues and extended AV setups. Concert halls, sporting arenas, multiplex cinemas, convention centers, lecture halls, and more are great places to set up an HDR-8×8-XT. Perfect for modest HDTVs and enormous jumbotron screens, the HDR-8×8-XT's 4K output ensures the highest picture quality on any display!
